Amazingly yesterday I found my fourth new hover fly of the month, and a new one for the county in
Orthonevra brevicornis. It's one of a number of "wetland" species that have shown up and give me hope for lots of other related goodies through the season.
The click beetle
Athous haemorrhoidalis was hanging off seemingly every bush and the third sarcophagid of the year was snagged. Finally a nice
Gymnocheta was spotted on a sunny leaf, though my photo left a lot to be desired (too much to show!).
This morning Common Terns finally showed up in the bay and a surprise Small Copper turned up in the sweep net.
